You should leave some easy ones for the newer/intermediate users, y'know...

@rm-rf I doubt SunnySky is unhappy about getting an answer sooner rather than having to wait until later.

It is kinda discouraging to see you answer all the low hanging fruits, is all I'm saying. These posts allow new and intermediate users to feel like they're contributing something to the site and it's important to realize that we also need to constantly build a pool of users who are motivated to answer questions. This is not a race to see who can answer all the low hanging questions... FYI, I prowl the site way more often and compulsively than you do and have been doing so since January; I leave most of the low hanging ones and only answer some when I've gone a stretch without much rep gain.

@rm-rf I'd like to hear about this "problem" from some of the "new and intermediate users" I'm supposedly discouraging rather than one of the top dogs (or frogs). It's not as though I am responding to the majority of questions as I once did on SO; I'm busier now and the site is much busier. I still see the site as being primarily about getting help, not gaining "points," and I feel that delaying or omitting answers works against this goal.

Keep; someone's bound to stumble onto this question when looking for the functionality you show, so I deem it helpful. I just can't make up my mind on the vote.

@Mr.Wizard - I don't see how this wouldn't answer OP's question. Granted Vitaliy doesn't use Plot, but ParametricPlot isn't Plot either. And with Graphic and Circle the result is there! :-)

@stevenvh the OP specifically asks to plot (lower case) this from given equations for x and y over a specific interval. None of that is in this answer. Presumably the OP didn't know about ParametricPlot and just assumed that the functionality was somewhere in Plot.
